Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to remove bed bugs in Calgary?
The cost to remove bed bugs or get rid of bed bugs from a structure varies depending on the type of structure e.g. single dwelling home, apartment, duplex, etc… how many bedrooms, and of course the level of the bed bug infestation. The average cost in to remove bed bugs in Calgary varies from $ 500.00 to $1,000.00 depending on the type of bed bug treatment.
Are chemicals the best way to remove bedbug infestations?
Yes, chemical applications work best to remove bed bugs because the chemical provides a residue. When applied in cracks and crevices, the chemical is working long after the service technician has left. Other methods to remove bed bugs, such as heat, steam, and vacuuming are solid choices, but once the equipment is turned off, the bed bug removal application has ended. If just one bed bug is missed, you are back to square one. The key to successful bed bug removal is to get the appropriate chemical where the bed bug is. This means using the right tool, such as an Actisol unit.
Why should I use a professional pest control company to get rid of bed bugs?
You may have already tried to get rid of bed bugs on your own, or had someone who claimed to be capable of getting rid of bed bugs fail to eliminate them. Bed bugs are not an easy insect to eliminate, it makes sense to hire a certified professional pest control company (preferably with many years of experience dealing with bed bugs). The best bed bug removal technician is one who is methodical. They are focused on the task… they literally start with one piece of furniture, then move to the next and the next, until they are done. Each piece of furniture is visually inspected, drawers are pulled out, turned over, mattresses and box springs are flipped over, then, the appropriate chemical application is performed.
Why didn’t my bed bug treatment work?
What a tough question. When bed bug applications don’t work, the reason is usually that there are multiple parties involved and not everyone is doing their part. In a multi-dwelling building, the resident with a high bed bug tolerance level isn’t your friend. By the time they feel they have an issue, it has already spread to the adjoining units. Imagine someone coming home from work with a notice under their door stating, “you need to do eight hours of preparation and your apartment is going to sprayed.” They say, “but I don’t have an issue” and then choose not to do their part. Imagine that the property management company only agrees to treat the infested apartment, and not perform visual inspections on other apartments, or put together a proper strategy for the building. As you can see, there are many reasons why bed bug treatments sometimes fail. What is needed is for everyone to face the right direction and charge up the same hill. The more we quarrel and fight, the more the bed bugs thrive.

It is quite common for people to notice bites on their body or feel itchy. They begin to wonder if they have bed bugs. Bed bugs are visible using a bright flashlight. Take off the bedding and look along the seams of the mattress/box spring at the head of which most bed bugs gather. Also, check behind the headboard, nightstands, and dressers.
Adult bedbugs are about 1/8th to 3/16th of an inch long and are visible to the naked eye when looking closely enough. They are flat, oval, red-brown in colour, and have a banded appearance caused by microscopic hairs. Immature nymphs are transparent and become browner as they age. Bed bugs are a similar size to an apple seed. On average, bed bugs feed once every four to five days and will go dormant for up to a year if fresh blood is not available. The life span of the average bedbug in Calgary is six to nine months, although dormant specimens will live longer.
